LSU baseball strength coach reportedly leaving for Texas AM

The baseball coaching drama in the state of Texas has had some residual effects on the LSU program.

On Saturday, The Advocate’s Koki Riley reported that Tigers strength and conditioning coach Jeremy McMillan will be returning to Texas A&M to join the staff of new head coach Michael Earley, the former hitting coach who initially followed Jeff Schlossnagle to Texas before returning to become the head coach in College Station.

McMillan joined coach Jay Johnson’s staff in August after spending 12 years as the strength coach at TAMU. Now, the San Antonio native and Texas Tech grad is returning to his home state.

Riley reported that assistant manager of applied sports science will handle strength and conditioning duties during summer ball while a replacement is found. That hire is expected to be made by the end of the month .

McMillan becomes the third LSU assistant to depart this offseason, joining associate director of program development and recruiting Terry Rooney , who joined Paul Mainieri at South Carolina, and director of operations Brent Haring , who became the head coach at Nicholls.
